Quick answer: Rockspace extenders have no default password. Connect to the rockspace_EXT network, open re.rockspace.local or 192.168.0.254 in a browser, and create your own password. Then choose the home Wi-Fi you want to extend.
Rockspace makes plug-in Wi-Fi extenders that boost a weak signal. They are not routers, so setup works differently. There is no default password to look up. You create one the first time. Here are the 2026 steps.

Connect to the rockspace_EXT Network First
A new Rockspace extender broadcasts its own open network. Before anything else, join it. The network is named rockspace_EXT and needs no password until you start setup.
Plug the extender into an outlet near your router for setup. Wait for its light to settle, then connect your phone or laptop to the rockspace_EXT network.
Open re.rockspace.local and Create a Password
With the extender network joined, open a browser. Type the setup address. Because there is no default password, the first screen asks you to create one. Choose something you will remember.
Follow these four steps to open setup.
- Join the rockspace_EXT network.
- Open a browser on that device.
- Type re.rockspace.local or 192.168.0.254.
- Create your admin password to continue.
Finish Setup: Pick the Wi-Fi to Extend
This is the step that makes an extender work. After you set a password, the extender scans for nearby networks. You pick your home Wi-Fi and enter its password so the extender can copy it.
The extender then creates a boosted network. By default its name is your Wi-Fi name with a suffix added. Connect your devices to that extended network in weak-signal areas of your home.
Change the Extended Wi-Fi Name and Password
Log back in to rename the extended network.
- Open re.rockspace.local and sign in.
- Go to the Wi-Fi settings.
- Edit the extended network name.
- Set a password and save.
Where to Place the Extender
Placement decides how well the extender works. Put it about halfway between your router and the weak spot. Too far and it copies a poor signal. Too close and it barely helps.
The signal light guides you. A solid or green light means a good spot. A weak or red light means move it closer to the router, then check again.
If re.rockspace.local Will Not Open
The web address only works while you are on the extender network. Most setup problems come from the wrong network or a typo. Work through these checks first.
These four fixes solve most cases.
- Confirm you joined the rockspace_EXT network.
- Try 192.168.0.254 instead of the name.
- Type the address in the bar, not search.
- Unplug the extender, then plug it back in.

Reset a Rockspace Extender to Factory Settings
A reset erases your password and the network it copied. Use it if you forget the password or move the extender to a new home. You will run setup again from the start.
The reset takes about ten seconds.
- Keep the extender plugged in.
- Press the reset hole with a pin.
- Hold about ten seconds until it blinks.
- Wait for it to restart.
Frequently Asked Questions
